With poll numbers continuing to tank, and midterm elections right around the corner, the Biden Administration desperately needs a win. It appears they're enacting a bold strategy that involves first manifesting a crisis and then proceeding to take credit for solving the non-existent crisis they created.

For weeks, the White House has been telling us, without evidence, that the Russian military is on the verge of launching a massive land and air invasion into Ukraine. Citing apparent troop movements within Russia's own territory on their border with Ukraine, the White House has continually signaled that Russia is swelling its numbers for an imminent attack.

The Kremlin, for its part, has remained pretty consistent in denying the allegation that it wants war in Ukraine.
